What is it about rejection that hurts so badly? For instance, when you're competing against another person for a job. You decide half-way through the process that you don't even really want the job anymore, but when you find out that you didn't get it you're crushed. Your World is absolutely turned upside down. You go through the hysterical phase where you hate the company, you want to quit, you want to leave. You absolutely want to leave. Go home and sit in front of the tv with a big bowl of ice cream, sniffling the night away. Of course, with the busy schedules we all carry that isn't generally possible.
Eventually you get mad. Why is that other person so much better than me? You start to question everything about yourself. You start to hate yourself. You find every little flaw possible. That person is thinner, that person is smarter. You personally destroy yourself.
You secretly hope that someone else will be so upset at the person that got hired that they'll quit. You want something bad to happen to that other person to make up for what you're feeling.
Luckily, this time, it wasn't me.
But seeing someone else go through it, it's such a horrible feeling to feel.
Sammy getting in the water!!

Never, Never let someone, something, some event, take away from you sense of self. Life is a journey, sometimes we get exactly what we hoped for sometimes we do not, BUT remember things always works out - just as they should.
disclaimer - it is okay to indulge in ice cream sometimes...only if it has caramel in it though...
lol it has to have caramel and chocolate!
